Playlist: Basque Post-Punks Belako choose us a Punk Top Ten

Ahead of tomorrow (23rd February) album launch, we spoke to Basque country post-punks Belako about their ten favourite punk records. The album,‘Render Me Numb, Trivial Violence’, was led by the singles Render Me Numb, Over the Edge and ‘Maskenfreiheit’, and is being jointly released Belako Records, El Segell del Primavera and [PIAS] (for the international market).

They are a band on the up as well, and will finish 2018 with a world tour under their belt – over twenty concerts, a dozen countries, 3 continents – as well as a new album to boot. They’ve picked a determindly wide spectrum of songs, using their own definition of ‘punk’ and from a wide variety of places and sources.

Check out the list, here

“Son The Father” – Fucked Up . A progressive song with multiple landscapes that puts you into trance.

“Art Star” – Yeah Yeah Yeahs . Still wondering why this one isn’t considered as one of their top tracks.

“Cuidado” – Eskorbuto . Catchy funny anthem of radical basque rock.

“Eh txo!” – Hertzainak . One of the first punk bands in the basque country using basque language.
